Tan Xiao was very eager, immediately replying, “Cantaloupe flavour!”
Bai Youwei: “Incorrect.”
Teancher Chang asked: “Is it grape flavour?”
Bai Youwei: “Incorrect.”
Tan Xiao said: “Teacher Chang, grape flavour is usually purple! Ah, is it kiwi flavour?”
Bai Youwei: “Incorrect.”
Tan Xiao: “…What about green mandarin flavour?”
Bai Youwei: “Incorrect.”
Teacher Chang seriously pondered: “Since the red candy is watermelon-flavoured, then the green one must also be fruit-flavoured…
could it be cucumber-flavoured?”
“How could that be? Cucumbers are not fruits!” Tan Xiao activated his brain cell, “Think again, are there any other green fruits… Ah! I got it! Green apple flavor! I must be right this time, right?”
Bai Youwei shook her head with a laugh: “Still incorrect.”
Tan Xiao was completely helpless: “Weiwei, give us a hint!”
Bai Youwei shrugged, “I’ve already given you a hint, the red candy is watermelon-flavoured, that’s the clue.”
Teacher Chang tried again: “Is it lotus seed flavour?”
Bai Youwei burst into laughter, still shaking her head, she asked Shen Mo: “What do you think it tastes like?”
Shen MO pondered for a moment, answering: “Sweetness.”
“What?! That’s allowed?!” Tan Xiao couldn’t help but shout, “The answer is sweetness?! No way! That’s so cunning!!!”
Bai Youwei shook her head: “That’s also incorrect.”
“…” The sound of Tan Xiao’s voice abruptly stopped.
“…” Teacher Chang was just about to praise the unexpected win of that answer, only to involuntarily shut his mouth.
Shen MO looked at Bai Youwei: “Reveal the answer.”
Bai Youwei grinned, saying: “The answer is, watermelon rind flavour.”
“The red is watermelon-flavoured, the green is watermelon rind flavoured, what do you think? Isn’t it logically consistent?” Bai Youwei gloated, “When the nanny’s child came to play at my house, I used treats to tease him, and that’s exactly how he answered. Children’s way of thinking is very interesting, if we truly aim to complete the puzzle collection, we should consider bringing that kid along, we might be pleasantly surprised~”
She paused, then continued: “If he can make it out of the maze alive, that is.”
Everyone fell into silence.
So, that’s the most important part, right?
If he can’t make it out of the maze alive, everything we just discussed is moot!
Tan Xiao picked up his bowl to continue eating, mumbling: “I wonder if he’ll show up at 2 p.m.”
Bai Youwei also picked up her bowl, slowly eating a few bites of rice.
Teacher Chang opened his mouth as if to speak, looking at his companions’ expressions, in the end, he shut it and ate in silence…
They returned to the crossroads again.
They didn’t bring a car, everyone only brought some portable luggage.
There was no sign of the little boy at the crossroads.
It was understandable if he didn’t show up, after all, he didn’t know Bai Youwei well, it was normal to be cautious, let alone… not many people dared to enter the maze now.
Chang Weicai said: “Shall we wait a little longer? Maybe he got delayed.” Everyone looked at Bai Youwei.
Her expression was indifferent, she didn’t object, so everyone found a shady spot and waited quietly.
They waited for five minutes.
The little boy was still nowhere to be seen.
Bai Youwei casually yawned.
Just then, a few people approached from the right, they looked over— It was two men and a woman, but the boy was still not with them.
Bai Youwei suddenly felt completely unmotivated.
“Let’s go, no need to wait any longer.” She said somewhat frustrated, “He probably won’t show up.”
“Hey! There’s a handicapped person here.” One of the men, a chubby one, was surprised by the sight, meaning no discrimination, merely expressing surprise and having a loose tongue.
Bai Youwei lazily lifted her eyelids, giving him a cold smirk.
“Listen here, sir, we’re both handicapped people.. Is there a need to discriminate against each other?”
